India is going to have 13th Rashtrapati (President) on 25th July, 2012. The political leadership in India has, unfortunately, mixed their political interests to manipulating for the highest place in the largest democratic set-up. It appears as if power hungry politicians shall not feel shy asking reservation for the Presidential candidates in future. Dr. Ambedkar, Chairman of the Constitution Drafting Committee did not recommend reservation beyond 20 years. After 63 years, reservation has become an election manifesto for every political party. They want reservation for women, reservation for so-called backward classes rather reservation has become a slogan of the political parties not for those who are living in poverty and rags but for those who happened to be born in a particular class, tribe or even region. The I-cards of SC/ST/OBC are sold in the open bazaars with the patronage of the politicians, of course, with full connivance of the bureaucrats.

They used to teach us, “Worth not birth shall rule mankind, wait a little longer.” After 63 years of rule of law in the largest democracy, India, we find slogans everywhere, “Birth not worth shall rule mankind.” Merit is determined on the basis of birth i.e. caste, tribes, region and all that. Worth does not merit any more. 50% reservation have been legalized by the Supreme Court of India. How long remaining 50% shall be added to the existing 50? 60 years was enough time to provide education, social assistance and economic upliftment to the wretched of the earth so that the new generations shall have no unequals.

Sanskriti school is a living example how future generation shall stand divided vertically. Only God given children of high-flying bureaucrats and top political clergymen can dream of entering the threshold of some Sanskriti schools. Ten lacs is just entry donation. A child, in my village, Bhugterian has not even tat (tardy carpet) to sit. One teacher looking after 100 children studying in five classes. The teacher has to cook for his students also. When that child of my school shall match the children of Sanskriti school, nay, that of Central School or a Convent School. 90% children study in the rural/village schools. 50% drop out because of their social and financial circumstances. The remaining turn chauffeurs, cleaners, domestics for those Sanskriti school product. The nation is heading fast for a vertical division and that shall lead to a class conflict within 20 years.

Now the politicians want a pliable President of the country who could be used at the time of need to bend the Constitution even. The thinkers, the ideologues and the men who matter have rightly been advocating that the President of India should be above party politics and who shall represents the voice of the millions. He should be casteless, acceptable to all forms of the society. The tragedy looms longer when the MPs and the MLAs are arbiters to elect the President. In the interest of the largest democracy and future of the greatest civilization which still can claim to uphold the moral values of life, it shall be desirable to elect President of India directly. Less than half percent legislators have their integrity under question themselves. What expectation the nation has from those who are facing criminal trials, some of them are still in jails and several of them are awaiting imprisonment. What kind of choice such persons may have?

Corruption in political life in India has taken cancerous form. Corruption has become part of public life. Those who are most corrupt are shouting against the corruption with equally loud voices. As long as corruption is not eliminated from India’s electoral system, corruption cannot be wiped out from the society. India is heading towards Ultimate Revolution and none can stop it. The right thinking people particularly the youth and students shall do well if they lead the Ultimate Revolution by rejecting all forms of violence in the society. Let the Ultimate Revolution need India towards glory of mankind so that India can play its destined role for peaceful co-existence of the nations. Complete disarmament shall save the world from complete annihilation.
